Kenyan girls on top of the world
Monday, August 29, 2011
At the end of Saturday, Kenya was on top of the world with a perfect six medals after pint-sized policewoman Vivian Cheruiyot led US-based dark horse Sally Kipyego and defending champion Linet Masai to a sweep of the women’s 10,000 metres title.
“Kenya is very strong, congratulations,” is the ubiquitous line the non-English speaking Koreans will greet you with here thanks to Saturday’s performance. Then they will politely ask if you have a Kenyan flag, pin or any Kenyan souvenir.
